Below you will find daily posts, all under Twitter’s 140 character limit (good for Facebook too), that you can copy/paste at your leisure, each linking to a Topic Page, which, for Credo Online Reference Services or Literati subscribers can be a gateway to all kinds of e-resources. September 19th is National Talk Like a Pirate Day, so at the bottom you'll find some pirate jokes as well! This content is free for the taking, no character-eating attribution to us necessary!
